Anyway...
Looking at Lorna Dane, who had blonde hair at least three days ago but now had dark green hair, Luke became increasingly suspicious that the explosion was caused by his "sister's" mutant abilities awakening and going berserk.
Luke held Lorna Dane's small hand in his right hand, gazing intently at her closed eyes, lost in thought.
next second.
A very real problem was placed before Lu Ke.
He has found the real culprit behind this bombing.
and then?
What should I do next?
Should they directly disregard their own family and notify the Sentinels, the organization that manages mutants, to come and take Lorna away and contain her?
If he takes matters into his own hands, Lorna will most likely be the only survivor in the Hill community. Once Lorna dies, his identity will no longer be in danger of being exposed.
Choose one, or choose two?
In Lu Ke's mind, these two thoughts grew wildly like weeds.
next second.
A materialized sickle, with a whoosh, cleanly hooked off both clumps of weeds, roots and all.
Go to hell!
Lao Tzu chose three.
Luke was never the kind of despicable person who would kick someone when they're down, nor was he the kind of person whose will was easily swayed.
He could eliminate the enemies who stood in his way with a clear conscience.
Since these people all chose to be his enemies, they must have considered the possibility of death when they made this decision.
But everyone else?
Luke never kills innocent people indiscriminately.
This is a matter of principle!
Lu Ke felt Lorna's slightly cold little hand in his palm, and looking at his "sister" with an oxygen mask on and her eyes closed, he became even more determined in his heart.
soon.
The ambulance sped along, wailing, and roared into Ronald Reagan Medical Center.
When the emergency room doctor on night shift saw Lu Ke jump out of the ambulance, he was completely stunned.
"why is it you again?"
"..."
Lu Ke's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this.
It turned out to be an old acquaintance who had saved his life twice.
But now is not a good time for catching up.
As Luke watched the stretcher being wheeled off the ambulance, he quickly turned to the doctor and said, "Dr. Johnson, if you can't save my sister, I swear, I'll do nothing but keep an eye on you and cause you trouble in my next life!"
Dr. Johnson was stunned.
younger sister?
He quickly looked at the nurse who was getting out of the ambulance.
The nurse nodded.
Hey!
I knew I shouldn't have switched shifts with Stephen tonight.
Johnson's heart sank, then he looked at Luke with a serious expression: "I will do my best."
Done.
Without looking back, Johnson turned around, grabbed the stretcher, and jogged towards the operating room.
Upon receiving Pan Ning's message, Rachel arrived at Ronald Reagan Medical Center almost immediately. After exiting the elevator, she saw Luke sitting not far away, leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, on a chair near the operating room entrance.
Rachel slowed her pace, walked over, and sat down next to Luke. Without saying a word, she simply took Luke's right hand, which felt somewhat cold at the moment.
Luke opened his eyes and looked at Rachel sitting next to him.
Rachel gave Luke a slight smile: "Don't worry, everything will be alright."
Luke forced a smile: "I hope so."
Done.
Lu Ke seemed to have lost interest in continuing to speak, his gaze fixed on the indicator light on the operating room ceiling, watching silently without uttering a word.
Rachel didn't say anything more, sitting to the side with Luke, waiting quietly.
They waited until eight o'clock the next day.
Ding!
Lu Ke stared at the indicator light that had gone out, and with a whoosh, he stood up from his seat.
Rachel, who had been sleeping with her head on Luke's shoulder, opened her eyes and stood up after a couple of seconds.
The elevator door opens.
Pan Ning also stepped out of the elevator.
The door of the operating room opened.
Dr. Johnson, his face etched with exhaustion, nodded at Luke waiting at the door: "I have accomplished my mission. However, her injuries are almost comparable to your second injury, so whether she can wake up depends on whether your sister has the same tenacious will to live as you."
I.
Will to survive?
How come I didn't know I had this thing?
Luke thought this to himself, but still said to Dr. Johnson with deep gratitude, "Thank you."
Dr. Johnson waved his hand and joked, "Just don't spend the rest of your life picking on me." After saying that, Dr. Johnson turned around and walked back into the operating room.
After half an hour.
In the intensive care unit.
Luke sat by the hospital bed, looking at Lorna, who was lying unconscious in bed, just like when he woke up from his second injury, surrounded by equipment and instruments.
Rachel stood behind Luke.
Then, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Pan Ning, who hadn't come in but was waving at her from outside.
Rachel glanced at Luke, who was currently focused on his sister Lorna, then walked out of the ward and looked at Pan Ning.
"what happened?"
"Bad news."
"..."
Chapter 115 Sentinel Special Operations Bureau (Fourth update, please subscribe!!)
Outside the intensive care unit.
Pan Ning's face was filled with a solemn expression.
Rachel, who was leaning against the door, felt a sudden jolt of fear upon seeing this.
"what?"
"The rescue team has completed the search."
Pan Ning's tone was somewhat somber. He looked through the window at Luke, who was guarding his "sister's" bedside and hadn't slept a wink all night. Then he looked at Rachel and said, "Unfortunately, there are no other survivors besides Luke's sister."
This discovery is very disheartening.
This means that of the 42 people living in the Mil community, only Luke's sister survived the explosion, while the other 41 perished.
"God!"
Upon hearing this news, Rachel's pupils widened, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands, saying in disbelief, "Are there really no other survivors?"
Pan Ning shook his head: "Unfortunately, the rescue team has stopped searching. They dug out 32 relatively intact bodies from the ruins and matched them with residents of the Mil community. The remaining remains that could not be identified have been taken to the forensic office."
Rachel was completely shocked, covering her mouth and unable to speak for a long time.
"correct."
Pan Ning seemed to have thought of something, took out a badge from his pocket, an FBI badge, and handed it to Rachel: "This is also what we found in the ruins. The location where we found it is not far from where we found Luke's sister. This should be Luke's."
Rachel reached out and took it.
Pan Ning then looked at Lu Ke through the window again, and then said to Rachel, "Then you stay here with Lu Ke. The ATF people have arrived. I'll go over there first."
Rachel pursed her lips: "Thank you, Director Pan Ning."
Pan Ning waved his hand and walked towards the elevator not far away without looking back.
Seeing this, Rachel also prepared to turn around and go back into the house.
at this time.
"Director."
"You are……"
“Earl Corman, sir, I am Commander Luke’s second-in-command.”
"I remembered."
At the elevator entrance, Pan Ning met Earl. After hearing Earl's self-introduction, he immediately nodded and said, "You're here to see Luke too?"
Earl nodded: "Yes, Jack has already taken the evidence collection team to the scene. I'll be there later, sir."
Pan Ning nodded, said nothing more, and entered the elevator.
